I was almost raped by someone who knew I was in the next room

I was 15 when this happened.<br><br>I was at my friends house one night. She lived with her older brother and parents.<br><br>I was walking past the kitchen to get to the bathroom and I could hear her brother (he was 20) and another girl in there. I heard her brother say “I have a question for you”. Then she said “what? I’m on the phone” I felt a strange feeling in my stomach.<br><br>I had never really liked her brother much because I never felt he really liked me, I always got the feeling he saw me as just a kid. Even though we knew each other well, I never felt comfortable around him. We would have conversations about things like movies and games but never really talked about anything personal. So I just continued on my way to the bathroom. But I still felt that strange feeling in my stomach. Like something was going to happen.<br><br>Later on, I was in my friends room and I could hear her brother in the kitchen. I was on the phone with my boyfriend at the time and I remember my friend’s brother asking the girl in the kitchen “do you think she would understand if I asked you something?” and she replied “idk what? I’m on the phone.” I felt that strange feeling in my stomach again. Like something bad was about to happen.<br><br>I had never really trusted her brother and now that I think about it, I wonder if he was asking the girl if he could use her to get to me.<br><br>A couple of months later, I was over at my friends place. I was in my friends room and I heard her brother in the kitchen. Then he came into my friends room, I remember he came in the room with a big smile on his face. I heard the door open and I remember his voice when he said “Hey.” I didn’t hear my friend’s voice replying so I knew she was still in the bathroom. I remember that I was a bit scared because I didn’t want to be alone with him. So I said “hey” and I told him to go in the kitchen, I’d be out in a minute. He said “k” and walked back to the kitchen.<br><br>I told my boyfriend what had happened, and he told me to be careful. He was right across the road from my friends place and I told him if anything went down, I’d just come over to his house. So I locked the door and waited for my friend to come back. I remember thinking he’s definitely going to come in here if she’s not out yet. I remember checking the window locks just in case. I didn’t want to be trapped in the house. I was so scared.<br><br>I don’t know why I didn’t just come out of my friends room but I’m just glad I didn’t. A couple of minutes later, I heard her voice from the hallway and I knew she was back. I don’t remember if I felt relief or if my heart stopped when I heard her, but I do know that I was just happy she was back. I quickly came out of her friends room and we talked for a bit. I remember me asking her what took so long. She told me she had a migraine, so she sat in her parents car for a few minutes and then came back inside.<br><br>That’s the day I almost got raped.
